<p>I'll echo the stay away from the high speed discs advice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you practice, practice with putters and mids. Most players that are throwing 300+ with ease are the same players who are throwing putters at least 150-200 and mids 250-300. And it's all in the technique. If you have technique good enough to throw a putter 200+ feet, you have technique that will translate to throwing a driver 350+.</p>

<p>Once you have the technique, then figuring out which high-speed drivers are appropriate for you is that much easier. That said, I swear by the Valkyrie as a great distance disc for beginners and/or for (lacking a better term) "weenie" arms. If you can't throw a Valkyrie 300 feet, you've got no shot at doing it with a faster disc like a Katana or Vulcan.</p> This would be my response als…tag:discgolfer.ning.com,2011-03-18:1809917:Comment:23494112011-03-18T13:14:41.110ZRiXhttp://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/RiX
<p>This would be my response also. Get those mids and putters to fly for you then work up to Fairway and Distance Drivers. They'll show you what your doing wrong...</p>
<p>If you don't have the arm speed to throw a Katana or Vulcan... it's just gonna be over stable for you. You have to throw the disc at the speed it's made to fly, in order for it to do what it's supposed to.</p>

Don't try to learn max D with 13 speed drivers, even if it is the Katana or Vulcan. Learn to throw a 5 or 6 speed discs over 300'. Better yet, learn to throw a putter consistently to about 250' and learn to throw a Comet very well. Doing this will help you gain distance and teach you better form.

It doesnt look like your planting your foot hard enough at the end of your x-step. try slowing down your run up until you can really put your weight into that leg and still have good balance. your body just seems to keep going in front of you instead of transferring that energy.

I'd say two things:<br />
<br />
You only seem to be reaching about as far back as your arm pit. Try reaching back farther.<br />
<br />
On your reach back you are reaching around. If the direction you are throwing is at 12:00, try reaching back to 6:00.

the two biggest thing i see is to first, keep your back striaght and second turn your hips. one thing i was told that helped me was that your arm can only follow what your hips do. by rotating your hips more you allow your self to reach back further which gives you arm more time to gain speed. keeping you back striaght will help you to reach back, keep your discs in the air longer, and will help keep you consistant.

Marty Peters also has a nice vid from Discraft on YouTube about gaining distance. REMEMBER, you can only learn so much from a video, but the ideas can only help. One thing that I did pick up, though, was to turn your hips more, showing your target your hind end, then driving through. Here's the link directly to the part about this.<br />
